Settlement Date (T+5): |
|
May 10, 2007, which is the fifth business day following the initial sale of the Debentures. Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Debentures prior to the third business day before the delivery of the Debentures will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Debentures initially will settle on a delayed basis, to agree to a delayed settlement cycle at the time of any trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Debentures who wish to make such trades should consult their own advisors. |

|
|
|
Minimum Net Proceeds for Repayment of Debentures: |
